Question 1522 Deck General

The correct answer is B) the regulation requires that the ventilation be non-spark producing. According to U.S. regulations, tanker pump rooms must have a ventilation system that is non-spark producing. This requirement is in place to prevent the ignition of flammable vapors that may be present in the pump room. The regulations do not simply require an exhaust fan (option A), nor do they make exceptions for certain vessel types or ages (option C). Additionally, the presence of a self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) at the entrance does not exempt the ventilation system from the non-spark producing requirement (option D).
